All the more impressive because it was done without CGI. I think they had to hire almost the entire Spanish Air Force for the Messerschmitts.

Have disagree with the author abput the films. Take aeay the incredible firsy 32 minutes and Private Ryan does not match up with A Walk in the Dun and The Story of GI Joe. And I would add the contemporary to Pvt, Ryan. The Thin Red Line.

War movies for the most part have been like Westerns, exciting, full of action, but not that accurate. John Ford even had the advantage of having an elderly Wyatt Earp on the set to advise and still didn’t get his Westerns right. Tombstone was the first Western I ever saw that came close to the actual clothes, guns, holsters, dialect, etc. that was actually used in the Old West.
My late Dad, a bombardier on a B-24 in WWII and I watched a few war films together about the Pacific Theater he was in and he said “no, not quite right.”
